+          <para>The <guibutton>Reconcile</guibutton> criterion
+          deserves some more explanation. Think of the selected
+          reconciliation status buttons
+          (<guibutton>Not Cleared</guibutton>,
+          <guibutton>Cleared</guibutton>, and so on) as a single group,
+          joined with a logical “or”. In other words, the
+          selection “<guibutton>is
+          </guibutton>” or “<guibutton>is
+          not</guibutton>” applies to the “or” of the
+          selected status buttons. The buttons which are left unselected
+          are simply ignored. (It’s not the same as saying
+          the reconciliation status <emphasis>must not</emphasis> be one
+          of these.)</para>
+
+          <para>For example: if you select <guibutton>Reconcile</guibutton>
+          <guibutton>is</guibutton> <guibutton>Cleared</guibutton>
+          <guibutton>Reconciled</guibutton>, that means you’re
+          saying “I want all transactions which contain cleared
+          splits OR reconciled splits” (imagine an invisible
+          “OR” between all the selected status buttons).
+          It’s the same as selecting
+          <guibutton>Reconcile</guibutton> <guibutton>is</guibutton>
+          <guibutton>Cleared</guibutton>, then adding another search
+          criterion with the <guibutton>Add</guibutton> button, then on
+          the new line selecting <guibutton>Reconcile</guibutton>
+          <guibutton>is</guibutton> <guibutton>Reconciled</guibutton>,
+          and finally selecting <guilabel>Search for items
+          where</guilabel> <guibutton>any criteria are met</guibutton>.
+          In either case, <application>&app;</application> will show
+          you exactly the same set of transactions.</para>
